Although a small dog, the Podengo Pequeno has an enormous personality. Tough, brave, fast and light of foot, they are agile and intelligent. Loyal to owners and easily able to warn by furious alert barking to any suspicious activity, the Podengo works hard for their place in the family home. Capable of a high level of training if owners wish to put in the work, but also capable of maximum mischief if they do not, the Podengo may be small, but they are not easily missed!
